Ross: Oh, guys, you should've seen him. 'Read 'em and weep.'
Chandler: And then he did.
Rachel: Well, now, how come you guys have never played poker with us?
Phoebe: Yeah, what is that? Like, some kind of guy thing? Like, some kind of sexist guy thing? Like it's poker, so only guys can play?
Ross: No, women are welcome to play.
Phoebe: Oh, OK, so then what is it? Some kind of... you know, like, like... some kind of, y'know, like... alright, what is it?
Chandler: There just don't happen to be any women in our games.
Joey: Yeah, we just don't happen to know any women that know how to play poker.
Girls: Oh, yeah, right.
Monica: Oh, please, that is such a lame excuse!
Rachel: Really.

Girls: No.
Rachel: But you could teach us.
Guys: No.

Joey: Who cares! either way we're famous!
Phoebe: Yeah.....Ooooh! i hope they dont show Ursula again!
Joey: Phoebe, What is it with you and your sister? Why do you keep bringing her up in the conversation?
Phoebe: I dont know! She's just bugging me!

Phoebe: (to Joey): Oh I see, so then, you were lying.
Joey: About what?
Phoebe: About how good your cards were.
Joey: Heh... I was bluffing.
Phoebe: A-ha! And... what is bluffing? Is it not another word for... lying?
Rachel: OK, sorry to break up this party, but I've got resumes to fax before work tomorrow... (gets up to leave)
Guys: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Chandler: Rach, Rach, we gotta settle.
Rachel: Settle what?
Chandler: The... Jamestown colony of Virginia. You see, King George is giving us the land, so...
Ross: The game, Rachel, the game. You owe us money for the game.
Rachel: Oh. Right.
Joey: You know what, you guys? It's their first time, why don't we just forget about the money, alright?
Monica: Hell no, we'll pay!
Phoebe: OK, Monica? I had another answer : all right!
Monica: And you know what? We want a rematch.
Ross: Well that's fine with me. Could use the money.
Rachel: (to Ross): Oh, you really are enjoying this aren't you?
Ross: Yea, well, yea.
Rachel: So basically, you get your ya-yas by taking money from all of your friends.
Ross: (pause)...Yeah.
Chandler: Yes, and I get my ya-yas from Ikea. You have to put them together yourself, but they cost a little less.
Ross: Look, Rachel, this is poker. I play to win, alright? In order for me to win, other people have to lose. So if you're gonna play poker with me, don't expect me to be a 'nice guy,' OK? Cause once those cards are dealt... (claps hands three times)
Joey: (pause)...Yeah?
Ross: I'm not a nice guy.
Rachel (Not TV) : Oh Yeah Right!
Ross: Hey! I was just trying to lay down the facts.
Rachel: so THATS why we won in the end!
Ross: Ok, Whatever.....
Scene: Central Perk: Phoebe and Joey
Joey: Pheebs i never asked you out because you were in "the friend zone"
Phoebe: Uh huh. Right.
Joey: It's not like i ever asked Rachel or Monica out!
Phoebe: HUH!
Joey: Ok ok Monica, once.....but Rachel?
Phoebe: Oh Joey! Youre so unreliable! for all we know you could fall in love with her in the future!
Joey: Yeah like that'd ever happen! (A/N: haha)
Phoebe: Yeah, but still.....
Joey: Why do you care so much?
Phoebe: Cause you dont find me attractive!
Joey: huh? of course i do Pheebs!
Phoebe: Really?
Joey: Sure! i realized that the day i kissed you.
Phoebe: Really?
Joey: Oh Yeah! you kiss way better than Ursula!
Phoebe (gushing) : Yay me!
Joey: actually, i uh.....wanted to ask you out right after that. but i didnt get a chance. and then you started going out with that other guy.
Phoebe: You wanted to ask me out?
Joey: Yeah. but then i realized that it would be weird.....for the others, you know.
Phoebe: We could have not told them.
Joey: (thinks) Yeah! Maybe we could still do that!
Phoebe: Huh?
Joey: Hey Pheebs, How You Doin?
Phoebe: Are you asking me out?
Joey: Sure! The special Joey way! So what do you say?
Phoebe: Yes.
